Thoughts while driving...

I was driving alone (which is rare) today and wanted to share some thoughts since Jason says I don't share the things of my heart enough.

I can't imagine being any happier in life than I am right now.
I have a wonderful husband who is so hard working, smart as all get-out, compassionate, forgiving/understanding, and who I am SO IN LOVE WITH. He amazes me with all that he does. I couldn't imagine a better father or husband. But what is truly the MOST AMAZING thing about him is his love for the Lord and his never-ending desire to serve those around him. I am constantly in awe of the depth of his humble spiritual ponderings and desire to magnify his calling as ward mission leader.

I have the cutest boy in the world! Gavin is so full of spunk and life and yet so gentle, tender and loving. My heart has never known such love until he came into our lives. And though he can be stubborn and wear me out sometimes, he is the light of our home. I love how much he is learning, how curious he is and how his imagination is beginning to soar. He makes us laugh everyday at the funny things he says and does.

I am so excited for our baby girl!! I feel so blessed to have had such an easy pregnancy. No nausea. No vomiting. No heartburn. No swelling until this week at work. (12 hr shifts on my feet-it was bound to happen sooner or later) No waking up 10 times a night to pee. I literally feel GREAT!! I have so much energy and forget I'm even pregnant sometimes because I feel so good and awake and alive! I can't wait to dote over our little girl and for all the dresses, bows and pink!

We are surrounded by the best friends and family anyone could ever ask for. They have shed tears of pain and sadness as well as tears of joy right along with us over these last 5 years. They have always been there to lend encouraging words when we needed it. Thank you!

I feel so inadequate at expressing the things of my heart. So please forgive my awkwardness. But this is just a glimpse into the thoughts of one truly content and joyful mom, wife, daughter and friend.

You made me cry. Your thoughts made me thankful for much of the same things. Thanks for reminding me how blessed I am.
